Join Haylie Shipp as Ranchers Stewardship Alliance President Leo Barthelmess and Bob Budd, Executive Director of the Wyoming Wildlife and Natural Resource Trust, talk about history and hope in the ranching industry.

In this episode, we discuss homesteading stories still attached to the land, challenges in the livestock industry, ranch transitions, and the need to tear off segregating labels in the push towards a positive future.

We also discuss Bob's book, "Otters Dance: A Rancher's Journey to Enlightenment and Stewardship." While it can be found most places books are sold (http://tinyurl.com/bdf43s5s), Bob encourages anyone interested in the book to purchase from small, independent bookstores when possible.
